United States Air Force (USAF) Freedom Winds: Composed of six virtuoso Airman Musicians, the group adds percussion to the traditional woodwind quintet instrumentation to enhance standard musical literature and increase their musical capabilities. Their diverse repertoire also includes jazz and ragtime classics along with popular themes from Broadway’s hit shows and Hollywood’s greatest films.
